On the first hand, the most preferable and used method is taking a day tour.

A day tour provides you with the advantages of a guided tour with a convenient mean of transport.

On the other hand, some folks may prefer using the public transport.

Nevertheless, conducting some research before will surely help to those who are unfamiliar with the methods.

We in Holy Land VIP Tours collected the methods in the following guide.

Overview

Getting from Jerusalem to Sea of Galilee by a public transport depends on which region of the lake you wish to reach.

Unfortunately, all public methods available currently in the Holy Land, doesn’t offer direct method reaching there.

As a result, you will be required to change lines or transport method at least once.

For those who travel from the airport to the nearby city of the Galilee Sea – Tiberias, we recommend you to turn for a more private means of transportation.

Such means include Private taxis or “Sherut” taxis for more comfortable mean of transport.

Therefore, getting a day tour, whether its private or organized, is the most preferable method for reaching the Kinnert.

Getting from Jerusalem to Sea of Galilee by a Public transport

As we mentioned before, getting from Jerusalem to Sea of Galilee depends on which region you want to reach.

Nevertheless, you will probably has to take a trip to the city of Tiberias which is located on the western shore of the Sea.

This is also the most preferred location for finding a local tour to the nearby landmarks or taking a boat ride.

From Jerusalem:

In order to reach Tiberias and the Sea of Galilee you will have to take a direct line between Jerusalem and the Israeli city of Afula.

Most of the buses to Afula depart from Jerusalem’s Central Bus Station, also known as “Tachana Mercazit”.

It is located near the famous Bridge of Strings landmark known as “Gesher Hametarim”.

Jerusalem’s bus station is located inside a mall, featuring various shops and cafes.

When entering the station, on the third floor of the mall you will find the bus platforms and information center.

There, you will be able to buy your ticket and get the number of the departure platform.

The trip to Afula takes about 2 hours but sometimes during traffic pressure, it might take more time.

After reaching Afula’s central station you will be required to take a bus to Tiberias.

The duration of the trip takes approximately one hours depending on the traffic.

In order to go back to Jerusalem, proceed to Tiberias central bus Station and finish your trip in Jerusalem’s bus Station, passing through Afula.
